Sussex County’s leading Trumpette, state Sen. Steve Oroho, thinks barring refugees and immigrants from majority-Muslim countries who have already gone though extensive vetting, usually over years, and sending them packing is a great idea.

The fallout from New Jersey’s newest tax on petroleum products, which raised the price of gas by 23 cents per gallon and can even go higher, continues to fall. And some of those kicking back the hardest are Republicans.

Women across the country staged what may be the largest protest in our nation’s history.

Sussex Democrats took part, and shared their stories.
